hello,

I have problem with via 6420 controller under linux (I have mandrake 9.1 with
kernel 2.4.25 with libata patch version 16).
This controller has two sata and one pata channels. Sata channel works fine
with libata. My problem is with pata channel. I have pata hard disk on this
controller. Bios of the controller detected this disk but linux did not.
What is the current status of the driver for this controller?
Thank you for your time.
